Oh, and by the way, they traded for a top-tier DT mid-season...why, you ask?  because they knew we were ready to win now...and we did until the refs screwed us.

My approach is to trust the front office...they got us to the AFC Championship game and this team was poised to win the Super Bowl.  We need to be very careful about what the refs did to us in the game and that some conservative play-calling didn't help as well.

This team is great and will only be better next year IMHO.

First, we picked top five for five years in a row so throwing a ton of money on a bad team isn't the definition of resting on your laurels. That's what we will be doing if we do minimal tweaking to the team this year now that it is good, especially at QB which is obviously the position where an upgrade could have the most impact.

Second. I hope we will only be better next year too but it's going to be a LOT more difficult next year. We won't have nearly as easy of a schedule, as easy of a division, and we won't get so lucky with injuries again. It's a very dangerous assumption to think we can just pat ourselves on the back and expect to do as good or even better next year.
